Arugula and Eruca sativa contain allergenic proteins that can induce type 1 hypersensitivity reactions. Their sensitization can lead to the production of IgE antibodies. Upon subsequent exposure, these antibodies trigger the release of histamine and other mediators, causing allergic symptoms such as itching, hives, or anaphylaxis. Healthcare providers utilize this test to determine allergic status and guide allergen-specific immunotherapy.

Important note: Minimum volume is 1 mL and 0.5 mL for every additional allergen.
